No. 9: Arizona State Sun Devils at Colorado Buffaloes

This game, like No. 10 on this list, isn't one that will grab the national audience's attention. However, this game has a mountain of Pac-12 South Division implications on the line.

Arizona State has yet to lose a conference game, while Colorado sits behind the Sun Devils with a chance to insert itself in the race for the division crown. Now, both teams still have to play conference champion favorites USC Trojans.

But for now, this game can make either team's fan bases' dream of a Pac-12 championship game.

No. 7: Alabama Crimson Tide at Missouri Tigers

Time: Saturday, October 13, 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS

Any time the No. 1 team in the country is on television—this game will be on CBS—you have to stop and pay attention. Alabama travels to Missouri, and for at least the first half, it should be a tightly contended game.

Plus, Alabama is coming off of a bye week and has a tough game against the Tennessee Volunteers on the road in Week 8. So those two factors may have Alabama playing rusty and looking ahead to the next game.

However, this team is the best in the country and should be able to have this game out of reach by the end of the third quarter.

No. 6: Kansas State Wildcats at Iowa State Cyclones

Before the season started, this game would not have made the Top 10 of any power rankings list. However, after the way these two teams started their seasons, with No. 6 Kansas State 5-0 and Iowa State 4-1, this will be a great game between two great Big 12 teams.

Kansas State has a high-powered offense that has scored 50 points or more in three of its five wins.

Iowa State has a stout defense that has allowed 15.8 points per game to opposing offenses.

The Cyclones will be the toughest defense that Kansas State has played this year. This could be a big upset that shakes up the Top 10 and the Big 12.

No. 4: USC Trojans at Washington Huskies

No. 11 USC is a team that has enough talent to be a BCS title contender but seems to lack motivation until it is down in a game. We saw that against the Utah Utes in Week 6, when they were down 14-0. They did rally to win 38-28.

Washington, on the other hand, has already upset a Top 10 team in the Pac-12 when it beat the Stanford Cardinal 17-13 at home.

However, Washington is coming into this game after getting destroyed on the road by the Oregon Ducks 52-21.

So, there are a number of things that could happen in this game. USC could show up flat on the road, again. Washington could continue its free-fall down the Pac-12 standings. Or, quarterbacks Matt Barkley and Keith Price could treat us to a great offensive show.

No. 3: Stanford Cardinal at Notre Dame Fighting Irish

Break out the shamrocks and golden domes as the No. 7 Notre Dame Fighting Irish are a legit BCS title game threat.

The Irish have displayed a punishing defense that can carry this team if not to the title game, at least back to a BCS bowl game. They are coming into this game after putting on a defensive clinic against the Miami (FL) Hurricanes. In Week 5 against the North Carolina Wolfpack, Miami's quarterback Stephen Morris threw for 566 yards. However, against Notre Dame, Morris had an abysmal 201 yards.

The Irish defense will have its hands full against Stanford quarterback Josh Nunes.

Last week against the Arizona Wildcats, Nunes threw for 380 yards and two touchdowns with another three rushing scores.

Will the irish defense put on another great performance, or will Nunes and the Cardinal offense overwhelm the Irish defense leading to the upset?

No. 2: Texas Longhorns vs. Oklahoma Sooners

Any other week this game would be the "Must-See" game of the week. However, our No. 1 game is so big and has so many BCS title game implications that I had to put the Red River Rivalry at No. 2.

Not only does this game have its venue (The Cotton Bowl) split down the middle, it also goes on right in the middle of the Texas State Fair.

In previous years, the winner of this game would go onto to control its fate in the Big 12 conference. Also in previous years, the winner would then go onto play in the BCS championship game. However, this year's contest may not have the same stakes. It still will determine which team may sneak into a BCS bowl game.

No. 1: South Carolina Gamecocks at LSU Tigers

The game of the week is once again between two SEC teams jockeying for position in the Top 10 of the Top 25 polls.

In Week 6 it was the Florida Gators upsetting No. 9 LSU when the Tigers traveled to "The Swamp."

This week, we could see another huge victory for an SEC East division member, as No. 3 South Carolina is hell-bent on coming into "Death Valley" and leaving with a victory.

However, if the Tigers can hold off the Gamecocks, then they will reinsert themselves into the BCS title picture. But, if South Carolina can leave with a road victory, it will emerge as the favorite to win the SEC East division.
